This is why people doesn't take magic seriously and regard it not as an art but a cheap entertaiment. I don't know of other art form that is performed in front of a table , full of people that they don't even ask for that. If an opera singer would do the same and start singing out of the blue we all feel it as out of line.

There are piano's at random locations throughout London, no one asks anyone to play but when someone does, they do a good job people appreciate it and applaud it. You will always get people who don't value things but I'm sure if Derren Brown or Dynamo walked into a bar/restaurant people wouldn't call them "cheap" entertainment or feel out of line.

Also relating it to an opera singer who would bellow their heart out and be the center of attention in the venue as opposed to just a table. Also a table could decline entertainment if they wished but it is slightly different.

Many people around the world get a lot to do this
â€œCheap Entertainment @ -:)
I see it as a great advantage to be able to
preform your art in small situations.
For most of the people itâ€™s an amazing experience
and I donâ€™t think that they complain that somebody
made laugh and have good time out of the box.

Hello everyone, thanks for joining us tonight. I trust everything is going well? Are we celebrating a special occasion tonight? Have you been here on a ... night before? ...On ... there is a guy who goes around to the tables with the smartest and most attractive people and performs what some call psychic entertainment. Would you like to know what thatâ€™s all about?....

Let them know who you and give them a chance to 1. Get something they need and help out the staff 2. Tell you if itâ€™s a special occasion 3. Say no.

After that just perform anything thatâ€™s good. I recommend starting with the improbable and moving to the impossible.
